Smart Vision for Automation

BOA is a highly integrated optical inspection tool for controlling quality and increasing productivity. It comprises all the elements of an industrial machine vision system in a tiny smart camera style package.

Easy to use and inexpensive, Teledyne DALSA's BOA leverages the full breadth and depth of Teledyne DALSA's design, engineering, and manufacturing expertise including sensor, camera, image-processing and vision software development to deliver the next generation in smart camera technology. BOA offers scalable vision solutions to satisfy a wide range of application needs from positioning robotic handlers to complete assembly verifications. Designed and ruggedized for harsh environment factory floor deployment, BOA is a truly exceptional all-in-one intelligent vision system.

Models

BOA vision systems are available in a range of resolution for monochrome and color applications with three performance options: 1X (BOA), 1.5X (BOA50), 4X (BOA200). The cameras also offer the choice of three different embedded software applications: iNspect Express (INS), a subset of iNspect Express focused on identifcation (IDR), or our most advanced application Sherlock (PRO).

Choice of Application Software Embedded

BOA vision systems are available with 3 different software applications:

BOA INS: The standard product is offered with our iNspect Express sofware. Ideal for both new and experienced users, iNspect Express can be set up quickly to satisfy a multitude of common inspection tasks.

BOA IDR: The IDR version is offered with a subset of iNspect Express tools that apply only to Identification, Tracking, and associated Verification applications. BOA IDR is a good choice for manufacturers who need to identify product markings for correctness or traceability.

BOA PRO: The PRO version is offered with our renowned Sherlock application software. Ideal for vision integrators, Sherlock provides the flexibility and tools to tackle a diverse range of challenging applications across all industrial segments.

Flexible Integration

BOA provides standard industrial Ethernet protocols for integrating into the factory network, including support for popular PLCs such as Rockwell Automation and Siemens. BOA ensures that data is moved quickly and accurately with minimal integration effort.

In addition to Ethernet, BOA provides serial RS-232 and discrete I/O connections, as well as expandable I/O options. A dedicated strobe output is further provided for direct light control.
